Why carpets should be deep cleaned at the end of a tenancy

At the end of a tenancy, a surface clean of carpets is not sufficient, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.

Carpets should be cleaned by a professional cleaning company who has an Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This makes sure that the deep cleaning of carpets removes all traces of the COVID-19 virus.

Professional cleaners use steam cleaners that remove all bugs, mites, viruses and dirt that gets trapped in the carpet pile.

Tenants often pay large deposits when moving in. If the home is not immaculately clean when they leave, the landlords may retain a portion of the deposit. Some professional carpet cleaners also offer a full home cleaning service.

There are many homes with carpets in the Chester, Wrexham and North Wales areas. During the lockdown, it is not safe to call in professional carpets cleaners. Regular vacuuming is recommended to keep the carpets clean, and after the pandemic is over, it is a good idea to have carpets professionally deep cleaned.

The coronavirus can be distributed via coughing, sneezing and physical contact with others. If a virus lands on a porous surface like carpets, it will not live long. The virus will tend to survive better in cold rooms compared to warm and humid ones.

To be safe, it is better not to touch carpets and wear socks, shoes or slippers when walking on them. A vacuum with a HEPA filter is recommended to trap small particles, preventing them from being circulated in the air.
